Why Join SATAWU?

SATAWU is the largest trade union for transport workers in South Africa

SATAWU took the lead in pushing for the Council to introduce fraud-free systems of benefit payments such as sick leave, leave and holiday bonus.

SATAWU has insisted that the Bargaining Council become an active force in the industry, with agents issuing compliance orders where companies are not following the Agreement

SATAWU’s affiliation to COSATU, the most powerful labour federation in South Africa, means that SATAWU is part of an organisation that at all times is ready to act in solidarity with transport workers.

Every SATAWU member has access to free legal advice.

SATAWU offers protection and support should you ever face harassment or unfair treatment in the workplace.
